To dog people
Have your pups ever gone thru weird avoidance or whining or just not going after treats and whatnot? Boomer is being strange. He isn't ill, nothing has happened to freak him out, no storms, etc.
Well, then

Re: To dog people
Is he eating normally at meal time? Bowel movements appear regularly and normal? Does he indicate any pain when you touch his belly?
We keep a close eye on our new guy, because he eats all sorts of crap off the ground, including, well, crap (his own, our other dog's, our rabbit and squirrel visitors', etc.). The major concern is the sticks he runs off with to chew on, in case he eats a small, sharp piece. He seems to be part termite.

I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

Re: To dog people
He's been fine lately. Wagging, coming for treats, yada. He's wonky on walks with Jeff, but that's become normal. Other than thunderstorm today, he's been good. It was the running away thing that got us.
I think he's an adolescent.
The eating crap thing is hit or miss. Spit out a mushroom, yay, and we don't give any rawhide things or bones that splinter. He's good about not eating cat poop from box BASED ON SIZE and NUMBERS of Kai's dumps...

Re: To dog people
When we first got Bingo, he didn't want to eat much at all. As I walked him a few days later, he threw up a whole chicken leg bone he must have sneaked at his foster home. He was fine after that.

Bones will do that. Back in the day, Elvis our yellow Lab, ate an entire quarter chicken he'd stolen from the tray. Weirdly no consequences...

Re: To dog people
Not related to the original post, but we took our 6 month old Aussie (Scout) with us to my cousin's farm today. He has a flock of about 65 sheep. We drove the four-wheeler over to the field they were grazing, our Aussie following us the entire way. When she saw the sheep, she immediately went into Aussie mode and got them all bunched up in a small tight circle. It was really fun to watch. It's the first time she's seen sheep.

Re: To dog people
In the 1970s, I had a New Zealand Sheep Dog that would have liked to do the same thing, but I wouldn't let him.BackInTex wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2024 7:09 pmNot related to the original post, but we took our 6 month old Aussie (Scout) with us to my cousin's farm today.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
